Demystifying detox

Today's fast-paced lifestyles unavoidably bring us more pollution and chemical contamination from where we live, what we eat, and what we use in daily life. This results from keen competition among agricultural and industrial manufacturers to produce more products with the maximum profit and minimum costs.

More chemical and artificial ingredients are introduced to the manufacturing process to reduce costs and increase the efficiency of mass production. However, some chemical substances cannot be removed completely in the manufacturing process and may leave some residue or chemical contamination on the products. Moreover, toxins are generated during the manufacturing process and pollute the atmosphere.

    This is typical new-age nonsense and gobbledygook, and possibly dangerous science for those who buy into it. I would very much like to see the author of this article try to exist on something that doesn't have chemicals. Water? Nope, it has chemicals -- in fact, pure water is only chemicals, that's all it has is chemicals. Organically grown green plant? Whoops, it's made of chemicals. The horrible crap that many people actually pay for to "detoxify" your body? Yep, once again, made of chemicals. But then, this is a doctor who buys food with mercury in it. That's not a good idea at all. Smart people don't do that.
